Please note

The 3km return option along North Beach is very exposed, so please come prepared. You can also return along the rainforest track.

The Bundageree Rainforest walk takes you on a gentle walk along the coastal fringe of Bongil Bongil National Park, south of Coffs Harbour.

With rainforest on one side of the dunes, including red olive berry, coastal banksias and staghorns, you're sure to see a variety of birdlife, including Lewin’s honeyeaters and satin bowerbirds. You might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a male satin bowerbird’s bower; two parallel walls of sticks decorated with blue coloured objects.

The track leaves the rainforest at the rocky shoreline of Bundageree Creek, great for exploring the rockpools or enjoying the view. From here, you can loop back to your start point along sandy North Beach. Keep an eye out for white-bellied sea eagles soaring in the sky.

For a shadier option, return the way you came along the rainforest track. Or connect with Bluff loop walking track and enjoy a lunch stop at Bluff loop picnic area.
